The Simpsons cover

On 7 May 2009, U.S. Postal Service honored America's favorite cartoon family, the Simpsons on a series of postage stamps. The Simpsons, currently in its 20th year as a regularly scheduled half-hour series, is the longest-running comedy in television history. The show is a cultural phenomenon, recognizable throughout the world. Each of the five stamps is devoted to a Simpson: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The new stamps is a continuation of the pop culture trend in the Postal Service's stamp program that started with the massively popular Elvis issue in 1993. Over the years subjects such as the Muppets, Disney characters, comic book heroes like Superman and Spider-Man, and most recently Star Wars have appeared on commemorative stamps.

I would like to thanks Chrissy Boudaouch for sending this lovely cover franked with a complete set of Simpsons stamps!

This cover was postmarked on 29 June 2009 in Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A. and took 5 days to travel an estimated distance of 15,703kms.

About Me

Good day to you! A warm welcome to my blog! I collect stamps of the first issues (first postage stamp issued by any nations), stamps of U.S.A. & P.R.C. origins and topical stamps of tortoises and turtles. However more often than not, I am swung by beautiful stamps outside my collecting areas! So end of the day, I collect everything (LOL). I am also interested to exchange covers from all corners of the world. So if you are interested, pls do not hesitate to send me a cover to my postal address and i will revert back to you with a beautiful cover from Singapore. Enjoy your stamps!
